An Oskar's Wooden Ark Service:

Layby is NOT a Discount, it is a service, and a way to help families budget to spread payments over several months. 

Reserve available items now, and spread the cost over a number of instalments - pay 20% up front as a deposit, with the remainder due within four months. Once fully paid, your items will be sent to you.

We hope that by offering a layby service, we can help make budgeting easy and our selection of wonderful toys accessible to all families, especially when planning ahead for Christmas, birthdays or other special celebrations.

Placing a Layby:

Simply add your items to your cart (minimum order value of 250 AUD) and enter the code LAYBY in the discount code field. The initial payment due will be 20% of the order total. Upon payment, this initial deposit amount is NON-REFUNDABLE.

An invoice will then be sent to you within 7 days, reflecting the balance owing. This balance is paid off in instalments, via the blue easy payment link on your invoice, over a maximum of 4 months. You get to choose when you pay the balance off, making weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments to suit your budget.  

Please note that layby is not a discount - it is a method to help you spread your payments over a maximum of four months. The full, original order amount will need to be paid before you receive your purchase. Discount Codes cannot be applied to a layby order.

Placing your order, with payment of the non-refundable deposit, confirms acceptance of our full Oskar's Wooden Ark Layby Terms and Conditions as set out below.  

LAYBY FAQs

Due to the overhead involved in offering our LAYBY service, changes are not permitted to a LAYBY order. If you have made a mistake, cancellations can be made up until the Invoice is issued for the remainder. After this time, the LAYBY deposit is forfeited.

If your plans or circumstances have changed, please be in touch early, and we'll talk through your options together before anything is cancelled. Please note that once your LAYBY Invoice has been issued, a cancellation will forfeit the deposit paid.

Shipping costs are automatically calculated based on the amount paid at checkout, this also applies to your LAYBY deposit. Rest assured, all LAYBY orders are above the Free Shipping amount, and our team will manually remove any shipping paid, when your LAYBY is invoiced. (Look for a separate refund line on your LAYBY invoice)

Yes. Already discounted items in our Sale and Clearance section can be added to your LAYBY order - the price shown is the final price, and will be used to calculate the 20% Layby Deposit.

LAYBY applies to the price shown, including any already discounted items in our Sale and Clearance section. It cannot be combined with other manually entered discount codes or discounts from our up-sell service. For Storewide sales, please refer to the FAQ below.

In most cases, yes! During Storewide Sales, the prices shown are already the discounted prices - so your Layby deposit of 20% will be calculated on the sale price, not the original price. Simply enter your LAYBY code at checkout as usual. If the code can't be applied, you'll receive a message letting you know - this may occur during special events such as VIP Early Access sales, where Layby is not available. Please refer to the Terms & Conditions for the relevant sale or event for details.

It is possible to make your initial 20% LAYBY deposit payment with Afterpay. All you need to do is choose Afterpay as your payment option at checkout. The remainder of your Layby will need to be paid with Direct Deposit, Credit Card, or Paypal.

While we cannot accurately estimate delivery times for the busy Christmas season, we recommend a LAYBY payment deadline of early December to ensure pre-Christmas delivery. Please remember to contact us with your order number when your balance has been paid to let us know.

LAYBY Terms and Conditions

  1. Layby applies to all items on the website, unless excluded by a promotion (shown in that promotion's T&Cs)
  2. A non-refundable 20% deposit is due at checkout. Once paid and the Invoice for the remainder is issued, laybys cannot be changed or cancelled. If you spot a mistake, contact us BEFORE the Invoice is issued for a full refund - after that, cancellation forfeits the deposit
  3. Use code "LAYBY" at checkout to reduce the cart total to a 20% deposit
  4. After the deposit, an invoice is created (within 7 days) with an Easy Payment Link - choose your own instalment amounts and frequency
  5. The price at time of order is final; no further discounts or codes apply, including up-sell discounts (see FAQs for storewide sales or Layby Promotions)
  6. Balance is payable within four months of the order date. No changes are possible once placed, and no cancellations once your layby invoice is issued
  7. Layby is only available for orders over 250 AUD
  8. To keep admin low, we don't send reminders. If the balance isn't paid by the due date, stock is returned to inventory, the deposit is forfeited, and any amount paid beyond the deposit is refunded
  9. Unless faulty, returns from a layby order are not permitted. Our Easy 30-day Return Policy does not apply to laybys. Please read our standard T&Cs, Return Policy, Shipping & Delivery Policy
  10. Payment must be made in full before items will be shipped. Please check our shipping details for current waiting time and allow plenty of time for delivery during busy times, including our Christmas season. Please contact us with your order number when your balance has been paid to let us know
  11. All goods will be dispatched when the invoice is paid in full and you have contacted us to advise us that your final payment has been made. Partial dispatch is not available even if the partial order would qualify for free shipping. It is not possible to make any changes to a layby, for example swapping items with other ones or removing items
  12. Other orders cannot be combined with a layby order. If you wish to add items to your layby, you will need to place a new order using the layby code. This will be treated as a separate layby order with a new due date. The minimum order amount of 250 AUD will apply, along with the other terms and conditions governing our layby service. If you wish to receive delivery of multiple layby orders at the same time, it is your responsibility to manage repayments accordingly. Our warehouse team will automatically combine any orders that might be ready to send at the same time

Oskar's Wooden Ark's layby terms and conditions are in accordance with Australian Consumer Law.
